The evolution of Donald Trump
KRNV ^ | 4/23/16 | Amanda Ota

Posted on 04/23/2016 8:20:16 AM PDT by markomalley

As he gets closer to the GOP nomination Donald Trump is beginning to look like a political chameleon, adapting his campaign to more aptly fit the mold of a party nominee.

It's a big step for Trump and appears to be a departure from his usual campaign practices as it is in fact a move that candidates often make.

Describing how it is typical of candidates, especially those who secure the nomination, to "pivot towards," the general electorate, Daniel P. Franklin, Associate Professor of Political Science at Georgia State explained the candidates go from appealing to the center of the party to the center of the general electorate.

Trump, Franklin said, is transitioning from a running a populist campaign to a standard campaign.

Bubba Clinton and Bush and other politicians allowed China to put U.S. manufacturers out of business.Trump will limit the importation of China products which will allow things to be made here in the USA again. It's pretty easy to block China products from coming in as Cbina blocks U.S. products from going there.

You don't know a damn thing.

Maybe you should watch Trump's video explaining how china has perpetrated the greatest theft ever or the UDA and how U.S. politicians helped China steal our factories and produ tion.

China has stolen our jobs, factories, technology, wealth , production capability, etc. It’s the biggest theft in history.

The following is a must see video and article for every American to see how all U.S. politicians have betrayed the USA and Americans for decades:

Trump:

I said, in the history of the world, this is the greatest theft ever perpetrated by anyone or any country, what China has done to us.

It is the greatest single theft. They have taken our jobs, they have taken our money, I mean I see the empty buildings all over Staten Island... I see them all over... Really really sad. That’s not going to happen anymore with me...

I don’t buy it. Whatever else he is, Donald Trump is not stupid, and you’d have to be pretty stupid to try the same tactics that worked so well (not!) for Mitt “Etch-a-Sketch” Romney.

Those are listed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in her book “On Death and Dying.” Not in the order you have them in, but all are included.

:) Was thinking about that today. The gift of discernment so we know the truth...about our own weaknesses.

“Teflon don—slides from position to position every other day.”

Well put. If The Comb-Over ends up getting elected, there will be many exploding heads here on FR when he starts going off the rez, so to speak.

He’ll be labelled a sell-out, a traitor, a closet GOPe, etc. etc.

I’ll definitely have the popcorn out for that.
